He's a Vikings fan, who might have some thoughts on the matter.
Ooooo Dante is an interesting shout. But he was before my time as a Vikings fan.
For the vikings I would want.... Offensive Rushmore.
Justin Jefferson
Randy Moss
Chris Carter
Adrian Peterson.
Defensive Rushmore. Danielle Hunter, Alan Page, Harrison Smith, Jared Allen.
For the top Rushmore Vikings, this is tough.
Alan Page
Randy Moss
Adrian Peterson
Harrison Smith
Hitman absolutely deserves his place there.

Moss over Carter is interesting to me. I guess when you had the most sensational receiver ever he has to make the cut, even if he didn't stay very long.
reply
I ummed and ahhhd over that one for a long while... Ish... But Moss changed the way the game was played. Just like Jefferson is. Carter is a legend and full respect to him but it's a coin flip between him and moss and coin landed on moss this time.
reply
That makes sense to me. When I think about those teams, it's definitely Moss who comes to mind. I also think of Moss primarily as a Viking and he's definitely the more iconic player in league history.
reply
There are times when I choose to forget that he was a Patriot for a fair while... 🤣🤣
reply
We generally choose to forget that he was a Raider, too.
reply
🤣🤣 could have been worse, you could have sold the farm for him and got nowhere whilst your trade partner appeared in the SB 3 times with players from those draft picks (cough Herschel Walker cough) 🤣🤣
reply
I never regret the Raiders trading 1st round picks, because they haven't made a great selection since Charles Woodson, and that wasn't even in this century.
He is iconic, but he caused a lot of issues.

Wait, are @Public_N_M_E from minnesota?
reply
I'm not no. I just became a Vikings fan after playing fantasy football with some friends, I knew nothing about the sport back then. But I just really liked the vikings as a team. So I started to back them. And then... Then I started to see players social media at timberwolves games so I started checking in a little to that and sort of following the timberwolves. Now I just understand the continued heartbreak of a Minnesota sports fan 😔.
But no I'm not from MN, I'm not even from the US. I'm one of His Majesty's Finest Great Britons! 💂🇬🇧💂🇬🇧
reply
You are a Briton?
I thought you would say her majesty's, but I guess that has changed.
Which part of the UK are you from? Or Canada?
The Vikings are a grounded team. I like certain individuals from it. Allen was very good and quite a character.
reply
I'm British yeah.
I would love to be able to say her majesty but sadly she passed in 2022. His Majesty is grammatically correct, it sounds odd, but majesty is just a way to address a king or queen. Just takes some getting used to.
I'm from the south, about an hour outside of London.
Allen's one of my favourite vikings, he was such a great character. I also really liked Everson Griffen (I hope he gets the help he needs) he just bought such energy to everything. Adam thielen I also really liked. Loved that underdog story about him. I also like Diggs, that miracle catch was amazing for me, I was sat in a room with a mate of mine (saints fan) when it happened, sweet sweet victory.
I also really liked Dalvin, and Kirk (I know he always got a lot of hate but actually he's one of the best vikings QBs we've had in a long long time). Harrison Smith or Danielle Hunter might be my all time favourite vikings.
Jefferson is exciting to watch and hopefully this JJ kid outta Michigan can deliver on the exciting he showed in college. The futures bright for the vikings I feel. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
reply
Adrian Peterson...what a legend.
Wish he had stayed and just played with the Vik.
reply
AP had lost a step and we'd drafted Dalvin. I think he knew his time in MN was over 😔 but I kinda wished he'd retired rather than jumped around never really doing much with other teams. He had an alright run with Washington for a hot second, but that fizzled out as quick as it started.
reply
Yeah, he kept getting injured.
reply
He was electric to watch, especially during that 2k yards MVP season. Just pure mowing people down as he ran through them.
reply
It was pure magic.
